    each to there own i like the dual class thing, plus i find melee misses like **** in allods

    was a melee priest bashing into my hit chance stat and missing 3/4 my attacks, also your forced into pvp in allods which i dont mind but i rather get to max level with decent gear, then forced into pvp, that is my major gripe with it pvp outside of the ship isn't that fun and exciting but when it comes to boarding and ship combat it is fun, because your at a good level and interesting versus a gank fest

    RoM has PVP realms but people rarely touch it because you drop gear which is even worse then being constantly jumped, plus rom can be disgusting with *****s that can use level one gear all the way to max level almost

    RoM has the better PVE endgame (certain class combos are way to effective K/R(pratically have a guarenteed short cooldown crit which then procs another move that can crit and proc itself off,M/X.R/x are all digusting in pvp[scouts can be just as disgusting as rogues in pvp if they wait abit to join fights])
    I smashed someone 10 times in a row all being crits it wasn't funny at all for him

    Just read up about class combos as some of them are just disgustingly bad
    K/M are kinda horrendous
    Heard wardens where horrible in general unless they fixed them in there pet

    I would also maybe wait abit as they're releasing the dwarf patch i think soon

    Allods has the better PVP endgame

    also it may not look it but RoM requires alot "ALOT" of research to understand the game
    like Gem combining
    like Gear and rune combining
    like rune tiers
    how to put runes into a weapon or piece of armour
    how runes work when your putting stats on them
    how do tiers work on equipment
    whats better tiers or stats at this level
    how do i get better tiers at this level
    what stats are the most optimal for my class (K/R and K/W get completely different tank gear while some are the same 1.Stam 2. Wisdom 3. Str/Dex vs 1. Stam 2. Wisdom 3. Str 4. dex) they also operate differently in tanking)

    they're both fun but right now allods has the superior pvp, would say most of RoM pvp is getting 1-4 shotted unless your a knight which your job is to constantly stun the people who do that since they cant do it to you

    That provided absolutely no insight whatsoever. What a troll.

    P.S. I felt like trolling you so I posted.

    On topic, I don't really know about RoM, but aside from presuming that its raison d'ętre is to clone WoW, you're better off playing WoW on *cough* server, rather then playing a cloned game presumably "free" which ultimately is a pay to win game. Btw, check the main page, promotion for buying 'Diamonds' is both constant and rampant.

    It's fun and has solid content, but it has my vote for one of the ugliest MMOs out there lol.

    I played runes of magic till endgame and I was one of the best scouts; I found runes of magic to be relatively easy to understand compared to allods, there is a lot more to understand in allods

    Though I'm not in endgame yet (in allods) I would say that runes of magic probably has the better endgame, though it's WAY more cash shop driven, in allods you pay once for your nice runes, then this is basically all you need for endgame from the cash shop, in runes of magic you have to buy from cash shop over and over again because of new instances

    It has nearly NOTHING to do with WoW, except the quest system ..

    the game is so different compared to WoW .. believe me

    and it's not pay2win, in RoM you simply HAVE to use the itemshop, you are forced to do it because it's the most important element in this game, but still you can buy basically everything with ingame gold

    What do memento items have to do with pay 2 win ? xD

    This couldn't possibly help him because only two of the first 20 posts were actual sources on the matter (reviews), and both of the reviews are 2-3 years old.

    It doesn't have to be the first mmorpg, RoM is clearly a WoW clone.

    10000 other games are WoW clones too, WoW is also a clone, of everquest, and everquest is also a clone

    put this useless discussion to an end ..

    RoM is nothing like WoW except for the questing, the gameplay feels much more smooth in RoM and it contains more action
